The paper presents the reception of the concept of the family and its social function, as well as the expression of its global, local and individual meaning, in the poetry and personal life of Srečko Kosovel on the basis of research by Elisabeth Lucas, Viktor E. Frankl and Virginia Satir. Kosovel interprets the individual's existence and the family in both a wider (the world, humanity) and a narrower (kinship, nation) sense. To Kosovel, the family was a space in which he cultivated his spirit and built firm friendships, from where he observed the external danger or aggressor that pressurised the occupied Slovene nation and where, at the same time, he sought a way to halt the decline of Western man, the small nation and ultimately of mankind.
